Bai Yan's request was quickly answered, and before long, Bai Yan, who was invited into Fiery Sun City, met the highest commander of the city at the time.

A general who claimed his surname was Zhao.

"Sir, are you sure you can help Fiery Sun City resolve the issue of the Sain Beast?"

General Zhao looked at Bai Yan with anticipation, hoping for a definite answer.

"Of course, as long as you agree to a few conditions of mine."

Ever since Bai Yan entered Fiery Sun City, a smile seemed fixed on his face.

Because he felt a sense of familiarity in Fiery Sun City.

Bai Yan was very sure he had never been to Fiery Sun City, so where did this sense of familiarity come from?

It could only be that he had been here in a past life.

This thought appeared in Bai Yan's mind, increasing his curiosity about the so-called Sain Beast and Beast Tide.

Is there any connection between the Beast Tide formed by the Sain Beast and his past life, and if there is, could he find a fragment of his past life's heritage here?

These questions lingered in Bai Yan's mind, making him determined to uncover the nature of the Beast Tide formed by the Sain Beast.

"On behalf of the fifty million citizens of Fiery Sun City, I thank you, sir!"

General Zhao first respectfully bowed to Bai Yan. According to his soldiers, Bai Yan's strength was something they simply could not compete with.

A strong individual willing to stay in Fiery Sun City to help solve the root cause of the Beast Tide from the Sain Beast, even if ultimately unsuccessful, was still a powerful asset.

Therefore, General Zhao was willing to bow to Bai Yan, though after bowing, a trace of shame appeared on his face.

"Sir, may I ask your honorable name?"

"Bai Yan. Bai as in white, Yan as in speech."

Bai Yan glanced at General Zhao and still gave his name.

This person probably doesn't recognize him; otherwise, he would have been calling him Senior Bai nonstop.

In his heart, Bai Yan was immensely grateful to his past life because it left him so much legacy, allowing him to smoothly reach this position.

However, when those monks once sheltered by his past life stood before him, calling him Senior Bai, Bai Yan always felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Because he knew their respect was only for his past life, they couldn't even distinguish between him and his previous self.

To Bai Yan himself, his past life and current self were entirely different individuals.

The worldviews, values were different, he only maintained the necessary respect due to the benefit received from his past life.

But nobody knew that Bai Yan actually had a very urgent wish in his heart.

He wanted to become stronger, stronger than his past self, strong enough that he no longer needed anyone's help to roam the realms freely.

This wish, however, might take a long time to realize.

Bai Yan smiled slightly to himself, refocusing his attention on the Beast Tide incident in Fiery Sun City. Noticing General Zhao's hesitating expression, Bai Yan directly said.

"Just say whatever you want, don't be so nervous, I'm not that scary."

"Well... then I shall say... Lord Bai Yan, I hope you can display your strength before the Beast Tide arrives, to reassure everyone and make sure the people feel safe."

"I'm not doubting your strength, just hoping you can understand and display your divine prowess in front of everyone."

Obviously, General Zhao still held a sliver of disbelief in Bai Yan's strength, and Bai Yan understood this without giving him a hard time.

"Watch closely, I'll only do this once."

To continue staying in Fiery Sun City without being thought of as a fraud, Bai Yan had no choice but to perform a miracle in front of everyone, demonstrating his strength.

In an instant, Bai Yan disappeared from in front of General Zhao and reappeared above Fiery Sun City, holding the Demon Longsword in one hand, and said.

"Someone fears I'm a fraud and wants to see my strength, so I obliged him."

As soon as he finished speaking, every monk in Fiery Sun City heard Bai Yan's bold statement, and the Demon Sword in his hand instantly unleashed a magnificent beam of blade light.

"Boom!"

The blade light tore through the sky as if a massive black arc slashed across it, landing in the already harvested fields outside the city.

A rift a hundred meters deep appeared on the land outside the city, making all who witnessed it with their own eyes break into a cold sweat.

Especially those monks who had once mocked Bai Yan at the city gate; now each of them stayed secluded without daring to show their faces.

"This sword is a warning to those who still wish to cause trouble: as long as I'm in Fiery Sun City, keep your thoughts of misChief to yourself! Otherwise, the fields outside will be your example!"

Bai Yan's words were so domineering that monks who saw this scene paid their respects toward Bai Yan's direction in the Void, fearing to show any disrespect.

In Fiery Sun City, such seniority and respect were taken to the extreme, with the law of survival of the fittest playing out in a new state here.

"Now! Return to your stations, defend, and wait for the Beast Tide to arrive!"

Bai Yan sheathed his sword and stood high above Fiery Sun City, and everyone who could receive his message returned to a safe place immediately.

Even those monks who weren't moved by Bai Yan's words returned to their posts.

Among them, a middle-aged man all in black, showing only his nose and eyes, went to a usual rendezvous point and spread the word about Bai Yan in Fiery Sun City to every faction in the Endless Star Sea.

"Boss, I hope you can come quickly; without you, I don't dare act alone."

At the same time, this man in black sent a message to his boss, urging him to come to the Star Sea quickly to help capture Bai Yan, the root of trouble.

Coincidentally, the boss of this man in black was the Supreme Realm black-robed man who had once driven Bai Yan into a corner.

At this time, Bai Ya was unaware of these happenings, as finally, after a long wait, something Bai Yan had always found miraculous began to unfold.

The Beast Tide had appeared all over Fiery Sun Star and over the coming period, they would recklessly charge, roar, and destroy all human creations in sight.

"Sir! Lord Bai Yan, the Beast Tide has indeed... arrived!"

With General Zhao's confirmation, Bai Yan understood it was now a matter of life and death for Fiery Sun City, as even the death of ants in large numbers leads to other ecosystems collapsing, forming a complete biological chain.

And Bai Yan was the one at the top of the food chain.
